AXE5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Router

I have the above router attached to my Xfinity XB7 modem.  I can't figure out how to get 6G speeds. Is it available with this combination?

Yes you should be able too, but, you can get the max speeds on the Xb7….

Is the XB7 *gateway device* in bridge mode ? If not, it should be.

Thank you for reaching out You would first need devices that are capable then your router would need to be capable as well,

 

When using your own router you want to have our in bridge mode this will basically make our gateway just function as a modem. The following is a great walkthrough that will show you how. https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/wireless-gateway-enable-disable-bridge-mode

Hi - did you figure this out? I had a Linksys MX8500 Wi-Fi 6E connected to my XB7 (now XB8) and I had no issues with 6 Ghz.
